Is bullying going to far today in our society or is people just over reacting?

Both. Bullying is current, but has not increased drastically or much at all. But the fact that it was taken somewhat lightly in the past, people realized how fatal bullying was. Students began committing suicide, cutting themselves, and committing homicide. As a result society has now come to mind that bullying is highly serious and should be withheld upon immediate action before any dying or violence occurs. I guess you could say that society is overacting, but they do have reason for it. Most teenagers use the word "fag" or "gay" and throw it around like it's trash. What they say effects others and they don't even realize it. My school will actually suspend or be written a referral if the word "F@g" or "gay" is used out of context; well "f@g" can't be used out of context because it's a hurtful word all around, but if "gay" is used to describe something than the teachers suspend them.

Bullying is still the same, so I guess it remains in tact. And society finally decides to actually do something about it lately. Not necessarily overacting, just saving lives and depression.

I don't think you can ''over react'' towards being bullied, because it can and always has occurred and its unacceptable behavior. I was bullied all throughout my teens and mid teen years, I am 24 now and it feels like just yesterday I dreaded attending school it was so brutal. I think people really need to be aware. Bullying can lead to depression, anxiety, and of course low self esteem, as been proven by statistics. People bully for varies reasons, they don't appreciate one because one is different, they can discriminate the persons race, they can be sexist, or they can just be plain low to the point they have to pull others down. It can be hard because it feels like a burden on ones chest. Having said that, bullying mostly occurs in schools but can also occur at home and in work places. So it's kind of hard to stop it but we can reach out and get help no matter where it occurs so it's definitely not excoriation, as society should speak out about bullying.

Bullying has been around for generations. and in the past has been viewed as a rite of passage or harmless youthful behavior that makes children stronger and tougher. Now bullying is considered a public health problem that affects as many as 30% of students and has serious negative impacts for the bully and for the victim. When bullying results in suicide, it's gone too far.

Bullying is a learned behavior and it can be unlearned.

Targets of bullying usually have emotional problems such as depression and anxiety. They cannot concentrate on school work or may decide not to go to school at all. children bullied once a week or more are more vulnerable to poor health, depression, anxiety, insomnia and thoughts of suicide than children who are not bullied according to the National Information Institutes ofHealth. Some of these problems last into adulthood.

Young people who bully are more likely to be involved in other problem behaviors such as drinking and smoking and they don't do as well in school; they are more likely to engage in criminal behavior as adults.

Bullying today is of course unacceptable, however bullying has been going since apes roamed the earth.

I was bullied as a child and adult.

I always stood up to bullies and punch them as hard as I could. This got me in trouble at school, however I wasn't prepared to be bullied by the teaching staff either.

Once the kids and the teachers finally understood that I had no toleration of it I was left in piece.

It never came easy for me to react that way, as im not an aggressive person, but I hated someone trying to force their will over mine I had to toughen up as one is unable to reason with a bully, so violence I found was always the answer.

As a man I was endlessly bullied by my wife, I suffered her for 15 years, because of love and marriage vowls.

One day I decided that my piece of mind and self respect would not allow me to continue this constant hell. No need to punch, simply divorced the *****.

Lets have once a year

" Punch the daylights out of your bully day"

Trick is never reveal which day it will be.

Bullying is not going too far it's just society is finally doing something about it. Enough is enough and actions are being made. When I was in school they had a rule where there was no bullying whatsoever. And if there was you are reported to the Principal and automatically suspended with no exceptions.

There is no such a thing as an over-reaction to bullying: violence always escalates. That is why there must be zero tolerance towards the slightest bullying.
